Former TE Rob Gronkowski doesn't see return in foreseeable future

Aug 27, 2019

Ex-Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski said at a presser that if he feels passionate again about football, he'll play.

"It could be the case in 6 months, it could be the case in 2 years, it could be in 3 years ... But I truly don't see it in the foreseeable future."

Fantasy Impact:

Given the issues New England has a TE, they may be trying to get him to reconsider. But Breer went on to say Gronk sympathizes with recently retired QB Andrew Luck. Gronk added he was in tears in his bed after a Super Bowl victory and four weeks later still hurting with a thigh bruise, and, had internal bleeding. "Football was bringing me down," Gronkowski said, according to Breer. Doesn't seem like a return is likely based on those comments.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Adam Schefter

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
